Job|4:1|-|Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
Job|4:2|-|If one attempts a word with you, will you be wearied by it?But who can refrain from speaking?
Job|4:3|-|Indeed, you have instructed many,And you have strengthened the weak |a|hands.
Job|4:4|-|Your words have raised up him who was stumbling,And you have made the bowing |a|knees firm.
Job|4:5|-|But now it comes to you, and you are wearied by it;It touches you, and you are disturbed.
Job|4:6|-|Is not your fear of God your confidence,And the |a|integrity of your ways your hope?
Job|4:7|-|Remember now, who, being innocent, has ever perished?And where have the upright ever been cut off?
Job|4:8|-|According to what I have seen, those who plow |1|iniquityAnd those who |a|sow trouble reap the same.
Job|4:9|-|By the |a|breath of God they perish,And by the blast of His anger they are consumed.
Job|4:10|-|The roaring of the lion and the sound of the fierce lionAnd the teeth of the young lions are broken;
Job|4:11|-|The strong lion perishes for lack of prey,And the whelps of the lioness are scattered.
Job|4:12|-|But a matter has stolen in unto me,And my ear has received a whisper of it.
Job|4:13|-|In perplexing thoughts of the night visions,When deep sleep falls upon men,
Job|4:14|-|Dread came upon me, and trembling,And caused all my bones to dread.
Job|4:15|-|And a spirit passed before my face;The hair of my flesh bristled.
Job|4:16|-|It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance;A form stood before my eyes;
I heard a murmur of a voice:
Job|4:17|-|Can a mortal man be more |a|righteous than God?Can a man be purer than his Maker?
Job|4:18|-|If He puts no trust in His servants,And He charges His angels with |a|error,
Job|4:19|-|How much more those who dwell in houses of clay,Whose foundation is in |a|dust,
Who are crushed like a moth!
Job|4:20|-|From morning to evening they are smashed to pieces;Without any considering it, they |1|continually perish.
Job|4:21|-|Should their tent cord be plucked up within them,They die, and not in wisdom.
